A Cyberpunk 2077 player showed off what David Martinez, the protagonist of the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, would look like were he to appear in the game. While Cyberpunk 2077 features V, a customizable protagonist that can appear as whatever the player wants them to, the anime spinoff from the game has David Martinez, a street kid from Night City who is trying to better his situation, as its main character. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is an anime adaptation that runs parallel to the events of Cyberpunk 2077 but features its own story.
While some fans were hesitant at first, as they believed Cyberpunk should have had a live-action adaptation, the reviews for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners so far have seemingly confirmed that the efforts from famed animation company Studio Trigger have paid off to create an enjoyable show. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was also made in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, something that is clear to see if fans look at update 1.6 for Cyberpunk 2077, which adds in David Martinez's jacket from the anime.

While the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners content in Cyberpunk 2077 has given fans somewhat of a look at a crossover between the anime and game, one player, known as Akiens on Reddit, decided to go one step further, creating their own version of David Martinez in-game. Using the character creator of Cyberpunk 2077 and wearing Martinez's jacket, Akiens managed to make a close copy of the Edgerunners protagonist. Considering the difference between Cyberpunk 2077's graphics and the anime style of Studio Trigger, it would not have been possible to fully recreate the character, but it's clear to see who Akiens has made in-game.
